IMPROVED BED-BOTTOM.

The Schedule referred to in these Lettera Patent and making part of theom.

To all 'whom fit may concern Beit known that I, ALEXANDER M. PUGH, ofBueyrns, in the county of Grnwford,a11d State of Ohio, have invented anew end useful Improvement in Spring-Bed Bottoms; and I do herebydeclare that the following is a full, clear, and exact descriptionthereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, Inakinr a paltof this specification, in which- Figure l is a plan View of a bedsteadwith a slat at tached, and l Figure 2 is a vertical section, taken inthe line x x of fig. l.

The nature of my invention consists in the peculiar formation andcombination of wires, byqnieans of which the slats are attached to thesprings and bedstead.

To enable others skilled in the art, to make and use my invention, Iwill proceed to describe its construction and operation.

In each end`of the slat A are two holes, through which is inselted thewire B, the ends of which are then bent out past the ends of the slet,and at each end of said wire B, a hook, C, is formed.

In the head and foot-rails of the bedstead, staples D, of the desiredwidth, are placed, at suitable distances apart..

The hooks O are inserted into eyes E, said eyes being?r formed at eachend of the wire F.

Around this wire or rod F and the staple I) is an elastic band, G, whichconnects the slat A to the bedstead.

It will be seen that with connections as above described, the slats canvery readily be removed, and as easily replaced in their formerposition.

Having thus fully described my invention,

That I elnim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The comhinatioii ofthe slat A, and fastening B and- F, and web or bandG, substantially ih the manner shown and described.
